Wally can’t help but wonder about all the shootings of
unarmed African-American teens, of late.
“I don’t know how most white people feel about them,” he said. “But for me, it’s real creepy.” And citing
the many police shootings and beatings of unarmed black people across the
nation, “It’s
starting to seem like more than random events and may be informal, but very
organized.”
Although the well-known
police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO is very scary, Wally is just as concerned
about the
death of Victor White III, in New Iberia, LA,, last March "What I can’t understand is how an
African-American teenager managed to commit suicide by shooting himself in the
chest, while in the back seat of a police car, hands cuffed behind him, “
he said.
While insisting that he is not some kind of conspiracy freak,
Wally is quick to point out, neither does he believe in coincidence.
Wally says he first noticed a lot of red states starting to pass eviscerating, but subtle anti-union legislation and cutting of taxes for the wealthy, among other
kinds of distasteful policies, sometime around 2007. Like many
others, he noticed, but paid it little attention.
“After all,” he had said, “just a bunch of Republicans screwing us over
to make life better for rich people.”
But these anti-worker laws and policies, it later turned
out, were not just mere coincidence. Not
only were the passing of the legislation well organized, the subtle scenario was
well executed and a perfect conspiracy.
It was a well-funded group of elites, including the Koch brothers,
behind a group calling itself the American
Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
“I’m not saying the shootings are a conspiracy or anything,
but a black teenager with a body full of bullets charging at a cop, or another
one shooting himself in the chest, hands cuffed behind him, while in the back
seat of a police car?”
For Wally, the Oath Keepers, or
something like them, may end up doing for police and sheriffs as something
similar to what ALEC has done for corporations and politicians. “I’m
just saying...” he said.
